A Fibonacci word is a specific sequence of binary digits (or symbols from any two-letter alphabet). The Fibonacci word is formed by repeated concatenation in the same way that the Fibonacci numbers are formed by repeated addition. It is a paradigmatic example of a Sturmian word and specifically, a morphic word.
To a Fibonacci word of length (the n th Fibonacci number) is associated a curve made of segments. The curve displays three different aspects whether n is in the form 3 k , 3 k + 1, or 3 k + 2.
To encode an integer N: . Find the largest Fibonacci number equal to or less than N; subtract this number from N, keeping track of the remainder.; If the number subtracted was the i th Fibonacci number F(i), put a 1 in place i − 2 in the code word (counting the left most digit as place 0).
The n-Fibonacci constant is the ratio toward which adjacent -Fibonacci numbers tend; it is also called the n th metallic mean, and it is the only positive root of =. For example, the case of n = 1 {\displaystyle n=1} is 1 + 5 2 {\displaystyle {\frac {1+{\sqrt {5}}}{2}}} , or the golden ratio , and the case of n = 2 {\displaystyle n=2} is 1 + 2 ...
A Fibonacci prime is a Fibonacci number that is prime. The first few are: [46] 2, 3, 5, 13, 89, 233, 1597, 28657, 514229, ... Fibonacci primes with thousands of digits have been found, but it is not known whether there are infinitely many. [47] F kn is divisible by F n, so, apart from F 4 = 3, any Fibonacci prime must have a prime index.
The Fibonacci sequence is constant-recursive: each element of the sequence is the sum of the previous two. Hasse diagram of some subclasses of constant-recursive sequences, ordered by inclusion In mathematics , an infinite sequence of numbers s 0 , s 1 , s 2 , s 3 , … {\displaystyle s_{0},s_{1},s_{2},s_{3},\ldots } is called constant ...
All Fibonacci-like integer sequences appear in shifted form as a row of the Wythoff array; the Fibonacci sequence itself is the first row and the Lucas sequence is the second row. Also like all Fibonacci-like integer sequences, the ratio between two consecutive Lucas numbers converges to the golden ratio .
The Fibonacci word is an example of a Sturmian word. The start of the cutting sequence shown here illustrates the start of the word 0100101001.. In mathematics, a Sturmian word (Sturmian sequence or billiard sequence [1]), named after Jacques Charles François Sturm, is a certain kind of infinitely long sequence of characters.
